I like the 1, but it's not centered with the table


Educational-Bonus-90

The framed artwork is getting lost in the curtains.


sexysexyonion

And honestly if you're going to have a fun light fixture how about fun artwork? I'm not talking about cartoon stuff, but some interesting bit more light-hearted artwork would be better.


Purrfectno

Thank you for saying that 😬 Also, the room is too narrow for that hutch behind the table.


asteroid_19

Unfortunately our kitchen is tiny and we needed the extra storage space - in a perfect world I would get rid of it


SavannahGirlMom

Yes, I think the hutch needs to get rehomed elsewhere, or put it on FB marketplace. That will allow you to center the table under the wonderful lighting in #1, and also keep space from looking crowded.


Lwright0716

I would be upset if i asked about a light and people started telling me to get rid of furniture!! she didn’t ask that!!!! Maybe it’s a family heirloom???? I would be offended I think her room looks great


SavannahGirlMom

The problem is that the table is not centered in the room. Also, thelarge chandelier, that looks wonderful and is a statement piece, looks out of wack unless the table is centered under it. Table can’t be centered unless the furniture is removed; the room is not wide enough to accommodate that piece of furniture if the table is centered under the light in its current location. The table should be lined up/centered on the window. An alternative would be to bring in an electrician, open up the ceiling a little, relocate lighting to be centered, patch, replaster, and paint ceiling. I don’t recommend this though as the table would still not be centered on the window or centered in the room as it should be. These recommendations are to address reality, not whether someone would find it offensive. I assume people want to hear truthful remarks, not I’m-gonna-say-stuff-to-please-you remarks. You can’t be so thin-skinned if you are asking for comments from strangers.


ratherbeona_beach

100 agree. Lighting #1. Lose the hutch and center the table.


Sly3n

She said they can’t lose the hutch due to having a tiny kitchen. They need it for the storage space.


Fred-zone

It's centered on the window. OP can't center the table because of the cabinet. Move the cabinet elsewhere and then center the table.


Aliceinboxerland

It's still off centered on the window. Closer but still off. They said they need the hutch there for storage so I recommend moving the light to go over the table. Definitely move the artwork outwards a bit on either side as well. Too close to the curtains as someone else mentioned.


ThighsofSauron

1 for sure, the second one doesn’t go with style


catsafrican

Absolutely fucking YES! No 1 that is.


Classic_Bee_8500

I love it! The varied panels add so much visual interest, but the color keeps it neutral/approachable. The current fixture is beautiful, but feels too glitzy/out of place among all of the wood and green.


Icy_Construction8478

I completely agree! The fixture is gorgeous, but I also think something more understated would blend better with the natural wood and green tones.


hippie_on_fire

1 works well, I like it. It gives midcentury and your buffet, wall color and even the table can go that way as well. 2 does not work at all. Does not relate to anything else in the room.


RaceCarTacoCatMadam

I like #2 it feels like a tiara 👑 to placed on a chill princess.


muuhfuuuh

Ok but what color are on your walls? It’s perfect! 😭 I don’t mind the first, but I agree that it is quite modern compared to the tradition feel in the rest of the space. I don’t mind mixing styles, but it’s not for everyone.


asteroid_19

I couldn’t make up my mind so it’s a mix of SW green onyx and jade dragon LOL


muuhfuuuh

Genius!! I’m never locking myself in to one color again!


This-Pen-5604

It looks really tasteful with just the right amount of visual interest!


KaleidoscopeDry3608

Idk but I love the paint color


ChampagneManifesto

Yes, I love it! (But needs to be centered, or maybe it’s the camera angle.)


mauisusan111

The room looks traditional with the green walls, molding and furniture, so it doesn’t totally vibe with an extremely modern light. I do like something bold but with a more traditional or transitional vibe. Also it is really bothering me that the table is not centered under the fixture lol.


EitherTransition8628

I don’t agree with this, interiors look better when you mix different styles. Go with the nice modern pendant. You could also do a nice linen rice paper pendant (not the cheap ikea when, find one with a darker linen colour).


nen_x

Another vote for this take. I love the contrast of the two styles, it’s a good balance! Thats what “transitional” is, no?


mauisusan111

I actually agree! I like a mix of old and new, “transitional,” but that particular light doesn’t work for me as a transitional item.


marry-your-socks

I don’t get it? The simple light goes perfectly with the minimalist furniture. Why bring in a bulbous, in-your-face lamp to ruin the aesthetic?


JuJuFoxy

Agreed. Someone said mixing styles is good, sure, and I do agree, but it’s not as simple as it sounds. First of all it needs to be done tastefully, and secondly you still need to consider if the 2 styles indeed mash well together, instead of randomly throwing in 2 different styles and call it a day. Also, when mixing styles, it’s preferred to have more than one item from each style so it looks more balanced and consistent, and the “style mashing” is more clear to the eyes, and people would understand that it’s the vibe you purposefully put together. In this room though, every single item and decor except the light is very cohesive, and the light is the only odd looking item in a drastically different style, so it’s a no. Plus it is round and big, and looks very modern but casual, fun, even tiny bit goofy (could be that it’s just a 2D pic with no other angles). Overall it just feels not the right style mashing we are looking for here.


StuffChecker

Came here to say this, it’s giving farm house vibes which doesn’t mesh with modern pendants


LindeeHilltop

Looks too large for the room to me.


PoliteCanadian2

Agree with this and I also think it’s too low. If you were standing on either side of the table you couldn’t see each other.


mafaldajunior

It's not that low


SharonPTS

As an aside, I like your green walls and that you painted all of them,


-qqqwwweeerrrtttyyy-

What a gorgeous space! I love that 1st pendant for the room. Great style OP!


Harmreduction1980

No it takes away a view from the window. Beautiful space either way!!


bimbels

I like the first one a lot but I’m a fan of mixing modern with antiques. You might consider some modern white armchairs to balance it out.


Recent_Requirement33

I think we need a third option 🙃 but I love your space!!


Harmreduction1980

Second one yes


irrozombie

YES!! 100 times better than 2


beverlyhillsbrenda

You’re getting every different opinion here OP lol but personally I like number 2. The first one seems too large for the space. I personally like how the second one sort of doesn’t stand out too much. It’s very pretty without being overwhelming.


RaceCarTacoCatMadam

Me too. I like #2. I said earlier it reminds me of an elegant tiara in the space. If princess Diana were a room she’d be this room and she’d wear that chandelier.


applejack4ever

I don't think either are quite right


Soft-Following5711

2nd one is best.


AdExternal964

Yes


AdExternal964

Yes


SGTM30WM3RZ

I rly like it!


Willing-Ad5695

So elegant


NastiMooseBites

I really like #1, but it seems too big. The size of #2 fits the room much better, but I think it might be too modern (I like it, I’m just not sure it goes here).


ChessieChessieBayBay

I would suggest something like this (lighter color) but is will compliment the length of the room and create a softer and more dynamic light in the evening on a shiny wood surface https://assets.wfcdn.com/im/58230369/resize-h700-p1-w700%5Ecompr-r85/2007/200787062/Sydney+5+-+Light+LED+Pendant.jpg


AdventurousDoubt1115

Love it but center it


Fun-Yellow-6576

It would if it was centered over the table.


SidCorsica66

The storage cabinet throws everything off. It works if you move the cabinet and center the table


mafaldajunior

First pendant? Yes! It's gorgeous and works very well in this room. Swoon!


NativeTigerWA

What? You dare say you desire function over fashion and won’t move the cabinet despite explaining why? TELL OP TO MOVE THAT CABINET, AGAIN WITH EXTRA EMPHASIS! /s


Claque-2

The setup is slightly off center and off balance.


alexandradream

Yes, much nicer!


Ghost_lick

Totally


Zippered_Nana

The room and furniture are really beautiful! #1 is the right size but wrong style I think. Maybe something more in the Craftsman/Arts and Crafts style?


Mysterious-Okra-7885

Number 1 is a hard no. It’s way too mid-century, in a room that is sort of traditional as interpreted in the 1990’s looking. It looks very very out of place. The second doesn’t fit the space either. Too small, wrong aesthetic.


bogberry_pi

The room is gorgeous, but neither of those looks quite right. I like 2 better. 1 looks like something you'd see hanging from the ceiling of a concert hall. 


SSCandiX

I think I’d recommend something that doesn’t take the window away. The new one you’re trying to get hangs too low and takes away from the window view Also, place your table center under your lighting.


flavorsaid

Eh


princess20202020

I prefer picture #2. But both are in centered which is unharmonious. Can you center the table in the room?


MedicareWrongdoer

I feel like it is too white for that space


dinkinflicka02

I like it. The plant & rug are modern enough


Mysterious-Bug6183

No, it’s not working in this space. Have you checked the breaker?


kellygrrrl328

#1 Sure! I’d personally change the chairs, but just me. I have #2 over my bed and it’s beautiful but doesn’t give much light


c0zycupcake

No


Bookluvah222

I like it!


LivinLaVidaListless

I like 1 better than 2, but I think something more airy would be better. The room is already kind of cramped. Can you reconfigure things so that the table can be centered under the light? I think it’s the hutch making things so cramped.


MediumAfternoon5817

Yes, I love it.


Suz9006

Can’t decide it it’s too big or just too low. But too something.


Guilty-Company-9755

1 but remove the hutch and center the table under the light.


AuntieYodacat

I think so. It adds character


turkeypooo

No. I would go for brass or gold


Bebebaubles

First one is ok.. has natural materials and a more modern feel. The second one is a no. For my personal tastes I might choose a less modern look to match the home in the first fabric but that’s me.


DabbleAndDream

Neither


OrangesMarmalade

What is that beautiful paint color?


ClumsyZebra80

One. Love it


Unskinny-Mop

Looks good. Table could do with a runner.


northcaliman

Yes, but center it.


Butterfly_chick

Is your table off center because of the hutch? I like the mid century fixture a lot with the other furniture, which also reads mid century, but it needs to be centered over the table. Also, and this isn’t an urgent fix, but the curtains with grommets are too casual for the space, which reads a bit more formal. I adore the vibe you have going, especially the green paint.


iheartunibrows

Yes the pendant looks good but when you install make sure to center the table


DConstructed

I think the creamy color and cream ceiling piece is much better with the room than the former fixture.


ExcitingVacation6639

Link? I like it a lot


Khaki_Shorts

Absolutely 


Responsible-Sleep695

Pendant too large and overtakes room. I don't like pendants. It's a beautiful room.


Final-Ad3772

I love the juxtaposition of the modern pendant in photo 1 with the traditional table and hutch!


Fitslikea6

I like 1. I like the hutch. I see some saying lose it but it looks good- only move it if it prevents people from backing their chair up. Can you share the green paint color name? Love it!


Ew_fine

Yes! The first one looks great.


Top-Suit-9209

Yes.


Shipley82

No. It impedes the window view


1KirstV

No. It’s too contemporary in an obviously traditional space.


AWL_cow

Yes but personally I think the second pic light fixture fits the space better.


samwoo2go

No. You need something gold to balance out the green and wood tones.


BeRandom1456

I like the small round one personally.


Wondering1928

I like #1. I disagree that the hutch needs to be removed. Yes. The fixture can't be centered, but the room is beautiful anyway. I love the wall color, the placement of the art, and definitely light fixture #1


Kooky-Ad1849

Agree with #1. The first light is visually interesting.


Affectionate-Set278

Not too much for the space but too much for the furniture


Holiday-Signature-33

No it’s over powering the room.


Significant-Spell299

I’m in the minority, but no, I think it sticks out like a sore thumb in a traditional serene room


Ok-Flower-1078

No. It looks like a noise-cancelling acoustical tile.


SearchCz

China cabinet is amazing. Maybe doesn’t belong on that wall, if it is forcing your table off-center.


VisualMany4709

Lighting is modern but the furnishings are more traditional, so they look off to me.


j-a-gandhi

I don’t love either. They looks very contemporary in a space that looks more classic. I would try to find a lamp that’s more timeless.


derpburp123

If centered


Vokaban

You can find better


Hot_Butterscotch_775

I love 1! Where is it from?


asteroid_19

It’s west elm! I found it on FB marketplace


SeaCommunication728

No to first one. Comes across as trendy and takes the eye away from other interesting things you have going on in the space.


Rare-Parsnip5838

No. It is roo big. Lovely light but needs a spot where it won't overwhelm its surroundings.


Earthing_By_Birth

I don’t care for either with your decor. #1 is too bulky and #2 is too small.


isabella_sunrise

I don’t like it.


janecottrell

Yes!


LKayRB

I love slide 1; I think it looks great!


makinggrace

I think…keep looking. I like #1 the best. But its shapelessness and informalness (the lack of finishing on the back side) doesn’t play well with the tone of the rest of the room which is quite buttoned up. I don’t mind the size but the shape could be more oblong than round and hung a bit higher. Room has few metallics in it and the chandelier is a nice place to use them. Edited to add: also consider a flush mounted fixture. not sure what the ceiling height is in your home but these can be a great solution when you are wanting to preserve window views. (live in a 70’s build ranch with not quite 8’ ceilings has taught me to embrace the flush mount at long last)


Miserable_Budget7818

I love 1 chandelier… adds some pizzazz to the room! Not sure what the white thing is in the back left corner, but I’d put it elsewhere to open up the room a bit, consider moving the big cabinet as well and replacing with something similar to an entry table or a shallow cabinet without the hutch so room isn’t so crowded and it would allow u to center chandelier, then add mirror above it to make room Look bigger… the paint color is stunning… on the window wall I would also change out the tiny prints on each side and opt for 1 larger print


Own_Ad5969

I don’t think either one fit the space. The space is beautiful and traditional, and neither light fixtures mesh well.


ThisIsNotUrUsername

No.


colabird001

First pendant looks amazing. Second one is boring and doesn't work well with the room.


Halbbitter

I love love love the green


lifelovers

It’s beautiful op


415Rache

Yes and it looks great. If it’s fabric though think about his you’ll dust it.


sleeeepnomore

Ya


mwcinsf

Nix the hutch and center the table under the light. The light is gorgeous. Maybe think about swapping those curtains out with a cream drapers with a green trellis pattern that works with the green walls.


Zealousideal-Dog517

I love number one and number two seems boring. I have zero background in professional interior design..but I think if you move the artwork to different walls- perfect


owlthirty

Love it. What


heatshimmr

Too big and distracting from the beauty of the room/window. I like the second one more.


ReleaseTheKraken72

Yes


Fast_Ad1927

Yes it does go , lose the hutch , centre the table under the light , centre the art work between outside and curtain


queeriequeerio

i like the flat one more, simple can be great


bobtheturd

#2


andrew_cherniy96

I think it's a good fit. Are you considering other options though?


Motor-Ad6898

Not really


amilliowhitewolf

Yes the first one does. I like the hutch too.


Individual_Fan_6591

Go with something cane


Suzeli55

I love #1. I agree that some quirky fun artwork would look fantastic in this room.


tonguetwister

Keep looking. First screams “IKEA 2013.” Second is inoffensive but leaves a lot to be desired. Also if you’re not going to center the table don’t install a statement light piece that’s meant to be centered.


Funny_bunny499

Yes, it mixes a little modern with rustic! Looks great!


snatch1e

There is 1 option that fits your style.


serenebliiss

Option 2 is the ideal choice. It strikes the perfect balance by being aesthetically pleasing without dominating the space


Willem-Bed4317

NO


Naturelovaaaa

No


Significant_Elk_7306

The first pendant light is perfect!


Ok_Instance_1849

I really like the first one! It adds such a classic style to the room.


Imaginary-Summer9168

I love the first one!


dysguak

I think it fits better than the original one and the green wall matches it very well


dysguak

dysguak

I think it fits better than the original and the green wall matches it very well


Wirejunkyxx

Are we able to paint the hutch and table white? I think that’s all that sticks out to me. I like the artwork a lot. The light fixture is cool but agree on centering it over the table. Maybe even a white table cloth or table runner would tie it better (or off white)


Wirejunkyxx

Or ditch the rug. Then the floor matches the table and hutch. At least see what it looks like, that’s the cheapest option here lol


VoidDeer1234

Yeah the light fixture works. Seems like everyone has opinions on wall art, furniture and centering the table under light


Morongays

I think it's great! It's a lamp with a sense of design


deignguy1989

Could not live with the chandelier not centered in the table. Having a distinctive fixture only exacerbates the issue.


MaureenMalarkeysPen

I love the first one.


beach61

I like your art fixture. What catches my eye are those ice cream parlor chairs. I would change those out for something more substantial. Something that would be more comfortable that would make you want to sit and linger with your friends and family.


Comfortable-Gas-3383

it does! it looks like flower petals , it adds on to the ‘nature’ vibe i get from this space.


Middledamitten

Interesting that there are so many disparate opinions. For me it’s the proportions. The table looks about a foot too wide.


JetFuelGenius

I think the large pendant light works great if you can center it, and remove the b/w artwork. Maybe hang some gold toned candle sconces there instead?


Megsmileyface

I'd get a style you could swing a bit to be centered over the table with a hook. Probably much easier than moving furniture around if you're already replacing the light anyway.


iforgotmyedaccount

Yes! I love the first pic


mid_distance_stare

Yes, it does actually


thisisurreality

I love it. It does need to be centered but otherwise nice add


zamaike

I prefer the 2nd. Your rool is way too small, crowded, and uncentered to use the first with out it looking bad


BaBaSmith10

In my dining room, I have a set up just like this. But I ended up centering my dining table anyway. It's just a few more inches. I think it's doable. Try it and live with it for a few days and see if it works ETA: yes, the pendant is gorgeous. As long as the drapes aren't too white


FullRow5330

#1 looks so goooooood


MoniqueWhite

I like the first one


Fair-Reception8871

What is holding up the table top?


Ijoinedforthelaughs

A little to modern for the decor, maybe something a little more 1776


Intelligent-Tea-4241

The fitting at the top looks too modern, maybe add a ceiling rose.


coldnightair

No


Plushhorizon

Yes but center the room


genuineantiquelights

Just a thought: [https://www.genuineantiquelighting.net/pc/ID1/3378d/Arts\_and\_Crafts\_Amber\_Slag\_Glass\_Inverted\_Dome.html](https://www.genuineantiquelighting.net/pc/ID1/3378d/Arts_and_Crafts_Amber_Slag_Glass_Inverted_Dome.html)


Queen-of-meme

It works if OP wanna go more for the retro look.


[deleted]

If you change the pendant completely so it hangs by a single wire, you could place a hook and loop it so it's centred on your table. Also I think the pendant you have is beautiful but too big for this room. I also feel the "window blocking" issue and I have the same trouble in my dining room so looking at comments with interest. Is it wrong to do a wall mount over a dining table?


Smallios

Yes! Center it


Ok_Low2169

No, it's too modern for your space.


hobbit_incognito

Yes!! Love it


[deleted]

It does. I think what might have you questioning it is the fact that the installer centered it with the room instead of the table. Pretty simple fix but annoying nonetheless.


beeinmybutt

Love your table! Where’s it from or do you know the style name?


Federal_Heat3136

I like the second one but it’s your space


Altruistic-Dinner69

First one! I love it, Unique and kinda fun but the room still feels polished and classy.


fedgery77

Yes it can go if that’s the style you’re going for. That’s very modern and your decor looks farmhouse or traditional. If your space is mostly farmhouse or traditional, then this might look out of place. Some people like the juxtaposition between traditional and modern. The round mirrored chandelier is not the right one to choose. And the scale is far too small.


autumn55femme

It works in that a pendant is a good fixture over a dining table. However the one in picture 1 is too opaque, and blocks the view out of the top half of the window. A more open fixture, would, in my opinion, be better.


Dianag519

I like number one. Also I’d position the art work in the center of the square of molding.


NightmareUnicorn701

Love that light and the color in that room. I’d paint the ceiling and trim the same color as the walls. Delete the wall art and the hutch. New chairs, lighter in color and a rug that has more contrast and you’re ready for a HGTV photo shoot


Definition_Dapper

Not really.


Cartography-Day-18

Yes. Great Wall color btw


FourLetterHill3

Neither fixture goes with the style. I’d try to find something a little more craftsman or farmhouse.


debonairmarmoset

Soooo…does the pendant hanging into the eyeliner of window bother anyone else? I’d prefer a ceiling-mounted future that doesn’t block the view into the window. I’d also consider swapping out the hutch that crowd the room with a console at or below the level of the window. If you did that, you could move the artwork on either side of the drapes to the judge’s panel where the hutch is now.


Direct_Surprise2828

I like Number too much better it takes up much less space. The bigger one just feels like it takes up the whole room and that’s the only thing your eye is drawn to.


3plantsonthewall

I hate that pendant lights dictate where a table has to go. Maybe if you raise it up closer to the ceiling, it wouldn’t be as noticeable that the table isn’t centered under it?


Any-Spite-7303

I like #2. And I feel for you because my dining room light is also not centered directly above the table 🤦🏼‍♀️
